Does anyone else out there really, really want to give up TV for Lent?

Naw, it's pretty disingenuous for someone who hasn't been to church since last Easter to jump on the great bandwagon of piety. Especially since recent events on "The Biggest Loser," or maybe it's more like off of "The Biggest Loser," have stirred up feelings of satanic rage inside me. They've also aged me a bit, as you can tell from the attached picture, which was taken yesterday after yet another TMZ report hit the interwebs.

Ha. Kidding aside, this was a pretty dark week for those of us who follow the show. I tried to distance myself from the negative "drama" (overused word) by staying off Twitter during Tuesday's episode and really watching the show -- amazing how much you actually notice when you're not glued to a keyboard -- to try and pick out positive stuff.

And then look where that got me. Pfft.

Thank goodness for all of you, who made this column possible by continuing to send me tweets. The Tweets of the Week are comprised of personal messages, with my handle removed, in most cases.

Looneybunch: If they are having this many problems, you know that a combo of Mark, Kim and Conda has made it this far, which is not good. Editor's note: It's also not good that we'll be watching this show for another two months, knowing deep down that even if we want to root for certain contestants, there's a chance they will end up pulling a Manny Ramirez in the end.

(No, I'm not implying any of them are on drugs, just that they'd rather walk than face whatever music the show is playing.)

jamainaz: don't these peeps watch the show? This is standard BL! IMO walking out is a D-bag move. Am I wrong? Editor's note: No. Except I would have chosen much more bleep-worthy word.

kajack5: they know we know what happened, now they should do the right thing. And if I see Conda on the street I would like to trip her... Editor's note: Oh, please, don't. Don't engage at all. Don't even look directly at her. Come to think of it, run away. Fast.

anglshaz: fair play. in BLAus season 1 they brought back some1 they thought deserves to be in and he won overall #daphne4thewin. Editor's note: Let's all move to Australia!

tjsbusymom: you saw my tweet yesterday? Brand is dying. The AD guys and BL Resort Niagara staff are jumping over the falls. Editor's note: Save Jess and Ramon! And put them back on the show! Yeah, you all thought last season was "lackluster," huh? Well, I hope you're happy now!

snowed_in: I'm rapidly approaching the point at which I don't want any of them to win. You hear that, @NBC? #BL13 Editor's note: Nope. And they don't have any comment, either.

JayneTransforms: Yep! Those w/ great attitudes like Nancy, Lauren, Santa are the ones who'd best represent the #BL brand! Editor's note: Here are a few more to add to your list.

OkoriWadsworth: but I do have a crush on Cassandra. Editor's note: Replace "a crush on" with "faith in" and you have my feelings.

NicoleBL4: Lets plan it! :) RT @TheBLblog @NicoleBL4 Nik, WTF? You & I need to go out for dinner so I can reconnect with a sane person from this show Editor's note: YES! No matter what, I've always got someone to remind me that all 'Losers' aren't losers!

HooverMama: each week it gets harder and harder to do our recap!! Editor's note: I suggest pouring some Cuervo Silver in a glass and adding lime, ice and soda water.

oliveplusgreen: @TheBLblog @BL11Irene @BL11Courtney NBC should probably pay you for your positive spins ... you know that, right? (You are spinning well.) Editor's note: Spin my arse! I mean, Courtney couldn't be negative if you chopped off her limbs and then told her she had to cook you dinner, but neither she nor Irene nor yours truly is about sprinkling sugar on NBC's pile of poo. Um, and I advise you to please ignore the title of this week's recap.

katjamn1: so I am just now watching #BL13 and I see that Bob is more upset about losing Jeremy than Dolvett is about losing Conda. Ha! Editor's note: Well, Jeremy actually loses weight.

attagirlsherrie: you should call in to live TMZ 855-TMZ-LIVE (869-5483) Editor's note: Yes, and I'm going to tell them we appreciate their great journalistic achievements, but could they please stop using this story as an excuse to belabor such cliched puns as "throwing their weight around," or "trimming some serious fat"? Groan.

reformedfatty: Am I the only one that thinks Chism looks like a fat ralph macchio? I wanna see him do the crane before he gets voted off Editor's note: I'm on board, as long as he finishes the move with a swift kick to some castmates' heads. Or groins.

amandatyson: hmmm anything clever for me to say about #bl13 ... i say... #beKINDorDIE that is all. Editor's note: You know it's bad when Dimples over here starts getting violent!

SarahDaveRoddy: @Ali_Sweeney just tweeted about a nice day on the ranch. Begin *crickets*.... Is anyone there with her?? Editor's note: No, and THAT'S WHY IT'S A NICE DAY! Am I right?

Niwanda2: I may enjoy Sweat Stains more that BLBlog now...real person with a real job with a real husband and - BURPEES! Not the paleo, LOL. Editor's note: Yes, in the event of "The Biggest Loser" going the way of, well, "The Event," I strongly encourage you all to continue reading about burpees and other fitness wonders at Sweat Stains. I also encourage you to forgive the product placement.

Kaycyenbrad: @JenniferRumple @TheBLblog @BLRDrRay Thank you for believing in me when I didnt have the strength to believe in myself! I can do it #inspire Editor's note: Satanic...rage...disappearing...Warm...fuzzies...returning....TV...safe...from...destruction....

This is what I'm talking about, folks. It's all about inspiring and helping each other, no matter what those fools on The Ranch That Sanity Forgot are doing!
